@Allen I think you're the one who's s****d because Gwyneth never looked below 5'8. She could be a weak 5ft9 but lower than that is 101% foolishness.

Allen said on 14/Sep/16
@Allie
are you stupid? Have you not seen her and James Corden? They are both 5'7.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Aug/16
Yeah, he looked near 5ft11 in that!

Seems to be 5'8"

Johno said on 1/Jun/16
175cm, take screenshots of various instances of the video and they are pretty much the same height and my money might be on James having the edge. Judy line the top of your mobile screen on Jame's head and you see him Skim it but eitherway, 1-inch is far to great. At times James does look above his listing though.

Johno said on 26/May/16
I always had her around 5'8 but admit that with James she looks around 5'7.5.

I am not one of those individuals that believes Paltrow is taller than Pitt; i believe is upto an inch taller however, judging by how short she looks here; it does not look good for Pitt's height.

On second look, James and Paltrow look very much the same height.

Just eded james in that video, i would say she averages ~ 5'8, i believe Rob would be a bit taller.

jack said on 21/Apr/16
If james is 5 8 then surely Gwyneth is not 5'9. From this video she looks around 5'7. Click Here

With Tracee Ellis Ross 5'7" I think again Gwyneth is 5'7-8". Click Here

Az said on 8/Dec/15
Lots of new pics with her and rob Lowe getting a star on walk of fame. He's 5'10" and she's about 5'11" in heels. 5'8" is a good listing for her. I've seen her a lot and think 5'7.5"....not at all a really true 5'9". She's just so beautiful I think and I met rob Lowe too! He's totally 5'10". Wasn't as tall as my bro who is 5'11 but was taller than me in ballet flats and I'm 5'7.5". He's AMAZING and VERY KIND. ox

Lonestar said on 7/Dec/15
How could cameron diaz be 5'8 if paltrow stay 5'9? Everyone know there is at least 1.5inch difference

Allie said on 11/Oct/15
What 5'7? Are you people crazy? Did you not see the pic on RDJ's page? Her heels don't look gigantic and he's wearing his big shoes and yet she's still taller. She's also taller than Cameron. I'd say she's 5'8-5'9 in order to achieve that.

Allen said on 3/Sep/15
You haven't seen her barefeet in person so you can't be certain. Some have seen her and they say she's around 5'7.

hijopotamus said on 2/Sep/15
Nearly 5 10, have you stood beside her or beside Brad when they are not wearing heels or tricky shoes with lifys?

Nearly 5 10 said on 25/Aug/15
And no. Her and Brad Pitt are NOT the same height...

Nearly 5 10 said on 25/Aug/15
I have just verified that Michael Stipe is actually 5' 9" - which Rob has him listed at. Stipe and Paltrow are the same height - when she's not in her high heels or wedges. Gwyneth Paltrow IS 5' 9", guys!

Allen said on 22/Jul/15
Paltrow is nothing more than 5'7-5'8 and Pitt doesn't look any taller than her in that picture! makes me laugh some say he is an inch and a half taller! He only has a masculine body which makes him look taller! They are both nothing more than 5'8!

Dingus said on 9/May/15
5'08.75" I think

Mat 5'10 said on 2/Apr/15
damn... those legs... i want to... do nasty things...

Cristina said on 1/Feb/15
Completely agree she is 175cm, she is tall and looks like a model. Definitely taller then Robert Downey jr. Maybe in the movies he may seem taller than her, but we all know they have tricks (apple boxes, steps and stuff) to make a man (and a small woman) look taller on screen...

Logan Hedlund said on 22/Jan/15
I'd say miss Paltrow is solid 5ft 8.5in ~174cm. Long leg bones. I would agree with mr. Rob, but I'm still unsure.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jan/15
Rob, how do you think Bruce Paltrow was?

[Editor Rob: not looked at him much.]

Vibram said on 5/Nov/14
Hair over 5ft8. Not a full 5ft9.

Arch Stanton said on 4/Oct/14
60kg I see mentioned for Paltrow (132 pounds) looks about right. Didn't Rob ever have her on the weight site?

Arch Stanton said on 4/Oct/14
150 pounds?? She's really skinny. Doubt it. Lindsey Vonn would be a good 40 pounds heavier I reckon. Somewhere between 130 and 140 I'd guess more likely.

mike said on 1/Oct/14
Legit 5ft 9 175-176 cm.

"tiny says on 3/Apr/14
Would put her at 5'9" & about 150 lbs. A little shorter and thinner than my other favorite Uma Thurman who is 6'0" & 165 lbs"

Nope. I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs, and Ms. Paltrow is WAY more than 10 lbs lighter than me. I last had a figure like hers when I was about 17 and an inch shorter, and I weighed about 125 lbs.

Tape Measure said on 3/Apr/14
She's been seen with Stipe on numerous occasions, sometimes with heels. But when she looked the same height as Stipe, she was in sneakers.

Yes, in the famous 'Pitt and Paltrow barefoot picture' he looks 1 inch taller absolute MAX. But it isn't a great photo to compare height because the camera angle's not ideal.

tape measure was she in heels because she just didn't look 5ft9 to me she looks between 5ft7 and 5ft8 i mean katie holmes looks taller imo

Tape Measure said on 27/Mar/14
Pitt is 1.5 inches taller than Paltrow. I have him at 5' 10.5". Paltrow is also the same height as Michael Stipe.

She's 5' 9"

Hi Rob, (Big fan teehee) I spotted this image from DM but the wall obscures her footwear but you could assume with the outfit she chose flats?
Click Here

Could this put Chris Martin at a weak 6'0 maybe even 5'11.75 ?

LOL you're really bad at judging height. For a start the height difference is not under 4 inches, and Gwyneth is on higher ground and its the edge of a road. Reality is that Chris is a strong 6'1.

Natasha said on 1/Feb/14
What height of a man would a 5'9" woman be equivalent to?

Hannah said on 27/Jan/14
5'9" is spot on

Just said on 27/Jan/14
She's 5'9. She's taller than 5'8 Cameron Diaz and shorter than 5'10 Liv Tyler.

Paul177 said on 23/Dec/13
174 cm is the lowest I'd estimate for her. I think a weak 5' 9" is more accurate.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Dec/13
About 5ft9 is fair. She keeps getting better with age.

az said on 13/Dec/13
i have stood next to her more than once in nyc and in austin texas at a coldplay show. she is around 5'7 but not quite 5'8. i am about 57.5 sometimes measured as 5'7.75". she's really really pretty and skinny.

Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 30/Aug/13
5'9" is right on the money, she's a bit shorter than 5'10" Liv Tyler.

Craig 177 said on 3/Jul/13
175 cm is spot on Rob.

DeeDee said on 1/Jun/13
Chris, you're mis-reading the stats! the "175" is centimeters............she's 5'9" and nothing mentioned about weight. She's not wearing "platforms", either......she's wearing high heels, which many fashionable women wear.

Chris said on 22/May/13
I don´t think she´s 175, Robert Downey is almost taller than her in heels and he is 173 . Guy Pearce is taller than her in heels hand he is 178. Robert is wearing lifts, but still. I would say that Gwyneth is 171-173.

J.Lee said on 20/Apr/13
Rob, these platforms are monsters. Click Here Would you estimate 6 foot 2 in those monsters?

[Editor Rob: yeah they are beasts]

Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 28/Mar/13
Rob, do you agree with little sue's estimate of 3.5 inches of extra height for those heels?

[Editor Rob: I'd have guessed if I seen them in person around 3.5-3.75 range, they'd probably be called a 4.5-5inch style in the shop.]

little sue said on 27/Mar/13
I would say the heels being about 5 inches and the platform an inch they probably give about 3.5 inches of actual height

how tall is she in these heels

Dean 5ft 9.25 said on 21/Jan/13
Pitt is an inch or so taller.
The only way hes 180cm is if Paltrow is 177cm+ barefoot. The max paltrow can be is 176cm which means brad is max 179cm range.
I actually think 178-178.5cm at night is where Pitt would fall if measured. I wouldnt be suprised between 177.5-179cm but cant really see him higher than a strong 179cm.

Trey said on 26/Dec/12
In The Avengers, 172/173 cm Downey Jr was a good 4-5 cm taller than her, in huge track shoes, probably adding 5-6 cm. 173-174 cm seems right for Paltrow, not quite 5'9.

Arch Stanton said on 14/Dec/12
Hope she continues to look more and more like her mother, Blythe Danner is a good looking woman.

Arch Stanton said on 14/Dec/12
She's one of the best examples of a legit 5'9" woman in my opinion. But she actually proportionally looks the exact same height as Abbey Crouch in this pic who I believe is nearer 5'8".

refresh said on 24/Oct/12
did you look at the pic with brad pitt,they naked and barefoot??? brad is NOT taller not even for 1 cm!what is wrong with you? she IS 175 cm,long legs,long neck and brad IS ALSO 175 range barefoot,am i only one who see that?

sara said on 22/Oct/12
She looks so much like her mother (Blythe Danner) in this pic. Probably 5'8" max.

James Livingstone said on 2/Sep/12
Rich Hall is right. She's max 2 inches taller than 5'5" Beyonce
that stops her at 5'7" grand max and put Brad Pitt at 5'8"

Funny isn't it Rob how Johno turns around the pictures to explain it the other way round!!! What makes me laugh is how these people ignore 99% of the picture comparisons of them looking the heights listed on here and they use the 1% to claim they are that short.

Where have these ''99%'' and ''1%'' figures come from? You picked a celebrity to contrast, stating difference would be lucky to be 1 inch and then i show a link, with your celebrity that shows the difference would be a minimum of 1.5 inches and more towards 2 inches. It is very hard to turn around anything. But yeh, where those 99% of pictures show vin diesel about 1 inch shorter then the 6'2 rock, yeh i guess i can be seen as twisting them to show he isn't, not to mention a whole host of other celebrities....

@shaun, i'm pretty sure you seen these pictures before. Kelly is over 1.5 inches taller then diaz there, infact looks closer to 2 inches taller. He is wearing his cap flat and his eyeline is 2 inches higher then hers.

Even in your own example, diaz looks 5'7 the most with 5'8.5 slater. Looks very much a weak 5'7 and it can even be argued that she looks 5'6.5 there.

With your paltrow being 1 inch taller then diaz, the 5'9 listing doesn't look good. Paltrow would be 5'8 max and can also be a weak 5'8 with diaz.

Pitt, is more then 0.5 inches taller then paltrow. Nothing less then 1 inch between them and could be slightly more.

@Johno. Cameron Diaz is not even an inch shorter than 5'8.5" Kelly Slater. and around 172cm range I think. Diaz is easily an inch shorter than Paltrow. She always looks a solid 5'9".

Heres Paltrow with matt damon. As you can see, paltrow has 2 inch platforms on and matt doesn't even have 1 inchers on. Footwear advantage around 1.2 inches. Paltrow posture isn't exactly straight but anyone with even a little sense can tell that without her footwear advantage would not be taller then Matt damon and if anything a tad shorter.

The funny is, damon is listed at 5'10, some people argue 5'9, alot argue 5'8.5 and some like me, believe he's closer to 5'8. So tell me, how can paltrow be 5'9 next to damon seriously? 5'8.5 possibly but i generally believe shes more 5'8 with damon and could be a weak 5'8 to.

Damon 5'8 - 5'8.5
Paltrow weak 5'8 (Although could be near 5'8.5 to but i doubt it, definently not 5'9 or above)

Here's Gwyneth Paltrow with Gary Lightbody who Rob has at 6'4". Paltrow looks more 5'11" than 5'7"!!. I know she's not seeing how she looks next to 5'10" Liv Tyler but she can often pull off looking that tall.

Rich Hall said on 14/Jul/11
@ Delta / thanks dude I'd like to thank the fellow nominees... lol
but seriously taking a closer look at the pic, you can clearly see that Beyonce's forehead is above Gwyneth's eyebrow line so the max difference between them is 2 inches // 5'5" + 2" = 5'7" on ze dotzzzz Volga out :-)

Delta said on 12/Jul/11
Congratulations Rich Hall, you have just won the, "I can't tell heights worth sh*t award." Let's bring reality to this situation. According to what you say, Beyonce Knowles is 5'5" which could be an incorrect measure by you. In fact it is as Rob has her listed at at 5'6" however with that aside Paltrow is NOTICEABLY taller than Knowles. She has AT LEAST 3 inches on her if not MORE in those photos. Even with your theory that Beyonce is "5'5" Paltrow may still hit 5'9 or 5'8.5 at the very least. She cannot be 5'7 which would not make Pitt 5'8, so your trolling days are over. Case Closed, Paltrow is 5'9" and downgrading like Gatorade won't make her shorter. (Wink wink)

Rich Hall said on 8/Jul/11

I think she's quite cute. However, I just recently saw "Loving Molly" (1974) for the first time. Her mother was very much more my type!!!

Liz Reed said on 26/May/11
she's a strongt 5'9, uys. period

shell said on 25/May/11
She's almost the same height as Nicole Kidman when both are in heels. There are photos of them from the 2011 Oscars standing side by side, and when Paltrow stands up straight (she has bad posture & Kidman has very good posture), they are nearly the same height. She can't be less than 5'9....girl towers over every other actress also (except the truly tall, like Kidman), and they're all wearing massive heels.

Shaun said on 29/Apr/11
She towers a 5 ft 7 woman when she is wearing heels. What does that tell you?

Shaun said on 29/Apr/11
Stipe looks 5'9". She looks 6'1" in her best heels. She towered Chelsea Handler recently who is 5'6" and has also towered 5'7" Ellen in heels. She's a legit 5'9", at worst 174cm.

J Bones said on 26/Apr/11
My wife is 177 cm w/o shoes and she towered over GP at the CMA's.

MARY WEST said on 22/Apr/11
TODAY ON ELLEN SHE LOOKS A LOT TALLER THAN ELLEN ALMOST A HEAD TALLER.

Stipe is rumored to be in the 5' 8" range, although he looks 5' 9" in my opinion.

[Editor Rob: I think she is around 5ft 9]

Elizabeth Renant said on 24/Mar/11
Funny, I'm 5'10" and I can usually spot another such at 50 feet - but Paltrow always seemed to me to be about 5'7"-5'8". I think she's what they call one of those rare "small tall girls".

Ed said on 5/Mar/11
Otnemem:Poor assessment. I just saw " Ripley" last night. Gwyneth in flats is a little taller than Matt who is supposed to be 5'10. I think Matt is 5'8, Gwyneth is 5'9 and Judd is 5'11.

Shaun said on 28/Feb/11
Lowest she could possibly be is 174cm. She looks a legit 5'9". She the Brad Pitt pics. She was also a little shorter than Matt Damon. Oh I think she looks a good inch-1.5 taller than Diaz.

Anonymous said on 13/Feb/11
5'8" is absolutely right for Gwyneth Paltrow !

she is flat footed though which makes her seem a bit shorter when she is barefoot or wearing flip flops, because of the abnormal posterior compression that all flat footers suffer without arched or angled shoes.

bwp said on 30/Jan/11
saw her tonight---had on heels that gave her (no bs) probably a good 6 inches onto her height---im 6'2 and she was a little taller than me!!!!

Hi Everyone! I worked for 2 mounths at the movie The Talented Mr. Riplay into 1999 and I saw Gwyneth Paltrow live. I'm a solid 5,11 and must say that she looks exactly 5,9, she looks taller cause she's really slim! Matt Damon was about 5,10, 5,11 and Jude Law is a little bit shorter than him, about 5,10...That's what i can remember!

I saw Gwyneth in the VIP section at Austin City Limits music festival in 2005. I was shocked at how short she was in flat sandals. She looked about 5'6". BTW, the latest designer heels are between 6"-9" with huge platforms, not 3"; you have to take that into consideration. And girls are just as bad as guys about lying about their height;)

In the movie Pall Bearer with David Schwimmer there's a scene where she's standing face to face with Schwimmer while in his room and they both wear sneakers, and there's a 3" height diffrence between the two. If Schwimmer is really 6'1 as stated everywhere then she has to be at least 5'9" if not a bit more.

Kevin said on 12/May/07
I just returned from the Keane concert in LA and backstage collecting our car, there was Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. I am 5'9" so with shoes approx 5' 10". Gwyneth was wearing large heeled shoes and towered 2 or so inches over me. I put the heels at 3 inches so she is a good 5' 9" in bare feet. Both were very nice and friendly. Class act. Chris introduced Gwyneth as his wife. Nice couple. Cris is a good 6' 1".

timber said on 6/May/07
In this pic with Paltrow and Evan Rachel Wood, 5ft 6, Paltrow appears max an inch taller than Wood. Gwyneth appears to have a slight slope advantage and is wearing modest heels. Wood appears to be wearing hightop sneakers:Click Here
I think Gwyneth is 5ft 7 in max. At 5ft 9, she should be 5ft 10 in shoes and tower over Wood. She doesn't.

Carol said on 30/Apr/07
I saw a photo of Gwen dressed up with her actress-mother, Blythe Danner. Blythe may have shrunk or never been her height listed as 5'7". Mom looked like 5'4" . I couldn't see their feet but Gwennie towered over her. Mom had her arm resting on Gwen's hipbone instead of her waist because of the extreme height difference. Maybe Gwen had on heels and mom didn't. I think Gwen is ~5'9" comparing other photos with this one.

talker said on 22/Apr/07
Drew,Pitt is probably 5'10" but i wouldnt think 5'9"impossible.Look at the shoes he's wearing in that photo.I believe these are 3"lifts or so they seem.Gwyneth is in 1"flipflops,there's the 2" difference and also she's bending forward..

Drew said on 22/Apr/07
Paltrow is not 5'7" okay... She is definitely not under 5'9". If Paltrow is 5'7" then Brad Pitt is 5'9" at best (which is not possible):

Anonymous said on 17/Apr/07
I still have to say that if cameron is 5'8 as listed here, she should be 5'8 too. Look at her next to Cameron Diaz. Not taller than half an inch next to her. And they both are know for using very high heels.

talker said on 14/Apr/07
Gwyneth is a tall girl,5'9" sounds right, check this page with J.Garner who says she is 5'8" and probably is(listed so here).Gwyneth looks 3"taller,probably wore higher heels there.But taller anyway.Click Here

Just food for thouht. Would someone 5'9" really wear these 4 to 5 inch heels doing every day shopping etc. I am 5'8" and I wear flats to formal occasions because heels make me so tall. I really think it's safe to say that by pics and her taste for huge heels, she is not over 5'7.

Chris said on 3/Oct/06
She's 5'8-5'9 without heels. Just like Mandy Moore.

anonymous2 said on 22/Sep/06
I think they may both be 5'7, actually. There is some debate as to whether Bening is truly 5'8. Gwyneth is wearing killer heels in that pic, giving her perhaps 4 inches over Bening, who may be wearing more modest heels, giving her only 2 inches.

Those are bad pics, Chris. At the premier pics shown with Gyllenhaal she was in 4" Christian Louboutin heels. In that picture it just looks like flats for some reason. And in the other pics you can't see any feel or posture. In all other pics here she is 5'8" at the absolute Max.

She wears boots with big heels a lot. Hard to judge her.

Michael Stipe is 5'8" and she's in huge heels. Again, Paltrow is a hot 5'7" at best. (Most people say Stipe is actually 5'7" anyway).Click Here

She does look the exact same height as Elizabeth Hurley and I just watched Austin Powers and she is Mike Myers height in three inch heels. Hurley appears closer to 5'5" and Paltrow 5'6.5" tops.

She really does appear closer to 5'6.5" than 5'8".

Paltrow and 5'5.5" Preston do appear very similar in height there in that pic tho. Paltrow could be 5'7 or even 5'6.5.

she looks 6 feet 1 in heels near affleck she cant be under 5 9

I don't know, to be honest none of those pics convince me of her being as short as 5'7. In all of those pics, you can't see the shoes clearly and she appears to not be standing straight. Gwyneth has terrible posture and NEVER stands straight. She is at least IMO 5'8 1/2.

She is one inch taller than Hurley (or same height): 5'7" probably.

Man I was fooled, I thought she was 5'9" she towered over Jack Black. I thought Jack Black is 5'5" wow I quess heels make a difference. She so tall when she was going out with Ben Affleck who is 6'2" right? and she was wearing flat tennis shoes. When she with Blythe Danner her mother is 5'7" she towers over her.

If she were 5'9" this would be the height difference WITHOUT heels. She is 5'7" at a maximum.

I think that Gwyneth's height is one that has been exaggerated for a while, and after looking at a lot of these pictures, I would put her at 5'6 and 1/2, especially after comparing her to Chris Martin, who is 6'1 and 1/2.

Minnie Driver isn't 5'10. And if she were that would make Paltrow 6 foot. She's not that big.

I just watched view from the top and she is the exact same height as Mark Ruffalo. So how tall is he?

How can you have her at 5'9" when she is just at Michael Douglas' height in big heels. She is 5'7".

Anonymous said on 3/May/06
Anon: that is an excellent find! She is most certainly NOT 5'9". I'd say 5'7" fits just right.

Yup it was Barrymoore, I just took a quick glimpse before I typed my comment.

Coffeecakes said on 23/Apr/06
What I am wondering is why people keep posting pics where the people are not standing right next to each other? Most of the pics, I see one person practically behind Gwyneth and vice versa.
I really believe that she is minimum 5'9. I have never seen anything that proves otherwise.

In Sylvia she looks same height as Daniel Craig.

No one over 5'* can wear the 5 inch Balanciagas that she wore to the Golden Globes and look only 2 inches taller than 5'8" Anthony Hopkins. It is totally off that she is over 5'8'.

raj said on 3/Apr/06
can anyone post the pic of her with Pitt both barefoot on a beach? they look same height...so paltrow should be around 6 feet!

she does and hour and a half of ashtanga yoga everyday 6 days a week so she probably increased her height an inch or so due to better posture and the good stretch.

Anonymous said on 2/Apr/06
Perhaps at some angle she could be taller in her 4 inch heels but that still leaves her below 5'8".

Gonzalo said on 31/Mar/06
Shorter than Leno? Am I dreaming or she looks taller? At least that`s what I see in that pic

kampioen said on 27/Mar/06
I closely watched Famke Janssen and John Hannah in 'Circus'.Famke is almost 1,5 inches taller than Hannah, who in Sliding Doors is the same height as Paltrow. That makes Paltrow 5,9.5 or 5.10 (in case Janssen is 6.0).

I stood nect to her all during an Arcade Fire set at ACL and we were both in sandals and she is 5'6", bottom line. Check her out in Anniversary Party with Michael Panes, she is his height and he is 5'5".

anonym said on 21/Mar/06
there is here too much people say, that all celebrities must be shorter than real. i think, it is not real. Forexample, Gwyneth. i stood next to her in Los Angeles, and she was really 6'2 with her heels. She is 5'10 real life, it is true!

It is weird that she is 3 inches shorter than Anna Malova, 5'10"

Next to 5'2" Sheryl Crow, 5'9" just doesn't hold up. Looks like it's really time for a 5'7'-8" downgrade. And Madonna is in for her 5'2" downgrade. Good finds with sheryl crow, actually. She is photographed with a lot of people and we all know she's 5'2" or under.

Anonymous said on 26/Feb/06
I think the anthony hopkins pics are all too telling. It just seems way too off to have her at 5'9" when it is clear she is a bit shorter than him. Like, very clear and hard to argue. Even if we pretend he's 5'9", she is still just at 5'8". I think there is no argument agaist downgrading to 5'8" at least.

kampioen said on 26/Feb/06
At the end of the movie Sliding doors they are in the elevator, where you can see their shoes are the same. They are the same height then.

Anonymous said on 25/Feb/06
at what point are Hannah and Paltrow wearing the dame heels? Weird. Actualy, in the restaurant scene when she looks his height or taller, she is wearing 3 inch stacked heels. He is also only about 5'10". So, she is still about 5'7" or 8".

Anonymous said on 25/Feb/06
This is all slightly off. Gwyneth Paltrow is 5'7" in real life. I take Yoga at the Equinox gym where she takes yoga time to time. She is not at all 5'9". Actually, she an d Tyra Banks have both been in and Tyra is clearly 5'10" and Gwyn is clearly 5'7".

kampioen said on 20/Feb/06
Closely watched Sliding doors. Gwyneth is (with 1,5 inch heels, taller than john Hannah. When the have the same heels (in the elevator) they are the same height. So truely she must be 176-177 cm.

Lara said on 3/Feb/06
By the way... you guys never heard of a short man wearing 2-3 inch inserts in his shoes? I assure you it's pretty common, and I'd say it's even more common in the acting world. It's far more likely that Hopkins is wearing inserts.

Lara said on 3/Feb/06
You've only got to watch her in 'Emma' with Jeremy Northam. Plenty of very clear shots in it, including feet. She looks, at the absolute maximum, only 2.5 inches shorter than Northam, which would put her at the very least at 5'10". She's clearly a tall chick.

Anonymous said on 1/Feb/06
Wow. The Golden Globes were very very telling. Take her shoes off and she is an inch plus shorter than Hopkins. You kind of have to downgrade this one. 5'7.75"

Serene said on 25/Jan/06
She is tall but below 5'10.. I suppose.. she is slim and pretty.. which makes her more noticable in height as 5'10..but she is not 5'10"..

Watched Golden Globes last night and she is only an inch and a half taller than Hopkins when she has 4 inch heels on. Set him at 5'8" in dress shoes, she is 5'10.5 in heels and 5'7" in real life. Take a look at the photos and go ahead and downgrade. it's really nexessary, in relation to Brad Pitt, Jude Law, Angelina Jolie and all the other stars she is seen next to.

[Editor Rob: Hopkins is a funny one...Mr R agreed he was a legit 5ft 8 range, 174 might not be that far from the truth...I mean beside Glenn he looks legit 174 range, although as I mentioned on his page his CV does claim he was 5ft 10 in his 'youth'.]

By the way, GP is not 1.5" taller than Roberts. Same. And Roberts is only 5'6" maximium. This is too talll for GP. Though her beauty is equal to 8 feet tall if that's what it takes. I stood by her at a Coldplay show too. She is 5'7".

Pretty sure Miss Gwyneth is at a maximum 5'8.5" - sometimes she looks shorter than this due to slouchy posture.

No way, Julia Roberts has been outed by too many sources that she is really 5'6".

I think Julia is closer to 5'7" or 5'8", making GP 5'8" or 5'9". I also think Jay is closer to 6'.

Do you have a link for that picture with Elle Mcpherson?

BritPop said on 30/Nov/05
She is 5'7.5". Everyone kows that, silly. Almost 5'10" is absurd. Check her out on Gett with Elle McPherson in flip flops. Gwyn matches her 5'11" or 6' with Paltrow-esque 4" heels on.

Madeline said on 16/Nov/05
I met her in 2000 and we had a conversation about an artist we both enjoy. She was sweet and articulate. I know that she was 5'7.5 or 5'8" because we were both in trainers and I am 5'8". But she was way skinny and lanky. No one here goes off meetings/sightings but I know what I know. The whole thing was really cool. I also saw her a couple years later (just a sighting) at Robert De Niro's restaurant in Tribeca. She was wearing heels that time, so was I, and still, about my hight (my sister said shorter but...). I had a cigarette outside at the same time she did too and listened to her talk to her friend and laugh a lot. She is rediculously perfect. But not extremely tall as some believe.

Meli said on 16/Nov/05
Gwyneth looks at least 174cm, i have compared her to so many differen't actors in movies and pics. There is no way that she is as small as 170/171. But she does wear alot of really high heels often. To anyone who did meet her what was she like? i am a big fan!

Madeline said on 16/Nov/05
No way. She definitely Looks a little over 5'7". 5ft 7.5 in. That is no 5'9".

Z. said on 15/Nov/05
ii, Claudia Schiffer is more like 5'11/5'11.5 though, not 5'10. So from that picture, I would say Gwyneth is about 5'9.

ds said on 11/Nov/05
No way 5'7! It's really ridiculous how people round down. When you get measured, you usually stand up as straight as you can, more than you would normally. If she was measured 5'10, she could easily slouch and take off 2 cm, 176. I went to the Paris Hilton post, who's listed as 5'8" in most places, and people are saying she's 5'3". It's possible to round an inch or 2, but 5!? Gwyneth is listed as 5'1" in lots of places, 176-177 is pretty accurate, she doesn't seem like the type that would lie.

berry said on 10/Nov/05
Seriously. Why hold onto 176 cm?

JUSTMATT said on 10/Nov/05
here we all agree Paltrow is no more than 5.8 Rob and also who met this girls says she is 5.8 so why you still have her at 176 cm? You have at least to put down her at 174 (in my opinion off course)....

Batman, if you can find evidence that Basinger is really 171 cm, I'll eat my batshorts.

My weird story is that when I met Gwyneth Paltrow in 2000, she was randomly with Michael Bolton. I have no idea how tall he is but she was two inches shorter. She wasn't wearing heels. I am 5'8" and she seemed exactly my height if not a hair shorter. Oh, yes, I did meet Michael Bolton. He was very nice but I don't remember how tall he was, wasn't paying attn.

She said on The View that she "one inch taller than my Mom". So, how tall is Blythe Danner in real life?

[Editor Rob: maybe nowadays in the 5ft 7ish range, unsure [how much] shrunk, although there was a quote from actress Marylin Burns, - "So then I was Susan and Blythe's stand-in! Blythe [danner] is about 6 feet, Susan [sarandon] is about 5'7" and I'm 5'2"]

WHAT said on 9/Nov/05
In that picture with Kim, Even if Kim were 5'7", Gwyn would still only be 5'11" in that picture and that is with her standard 3-4 inch heels. Take 3 inches off of 5'11" and you still have a 5'8" Gwyneth. She is not as tall as 5'9" (or 5'8" really). I saw her in Shakespear in Love and Perfect Murder this week and she comes out to about 5'7" in those films. She is so beautiful in Shakespeare in Love.

Rob Paltrow is still at 177cm

[Editor Rob: well, I did see ripley...there were only a few scenes worth comparing (one at very end) and yes, beside damon did not appear considering footwear 177. I'll take her down to 176cm exactly for the moment...]

Sorry Rob but I think you wrong this time. That photo to me seems really important! Ok I agree with you that the camera is pointing from a higher up angle but com'on Rob in this photos Paltrow for sure isn't taller than Damon or is she?!? Let say even that they are both the same height so both 178 cm but you have to consider that Paltrow has 4-5 cm heels!! So I'm sorry but for sure Paltrow isn't the 177 cm you give her in this page! She can be max 175 cm but no more!

[Editor Rob: I will at some time come back to this girl. I can't remember how tall she was with damon in the film, but when I see it soon I'll have a look at ripley and come back to this height...]

JUSTMATT said on 5/Nov/05
If Tyler is 5.10 well, I think Paltrow is max 5.9 0r 5.8

Diane Sawyer is in 2.5" heels. Gwyn's are 4" heels. I would say Gwyn is one inch shorter than Diane Sawyer.

The Leno comparison is another good one. And she is wearing the same 3-4 inchers in the photo with Diane as she is in the photo with Spielberg. That's why she looks about the same height as Diane Sawyer, I suppose.
